Microsoft has released the cities they will be holding the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 launch event at.  The event will also include Exchange 2010.  The best thing about the launch event is that you will receive a copy of the Windows 7.  You should sign up as soon as possible as I know some of the cities will fill up fast.  I personally do plan on attending even though I will have to travel several hours to reach one of the cities.  I will try to post more as I read about the event when it kicks of its first round on September 24th.

The team over at the Ultimate Boot CD For Windows has released a new version.  The latest version is 3.5 and has several new features and updates.  Over the next couple of days I will try to post the new features and software additions.  For now you can go download the latest version from the link below.  If you get a chance please stop by to thank Ben and his team for their hard work.  Without their dedication we would not have this life saving technology tool!

I have posted about this software program once before but it still seems like there are allot of people that are not aware of it.  So hopefully I can convince a few more people to go out and try Avast.  It currently supports over thirty different languages so just anybody can find Avast useful.

It seems like I have been getting called by allot of family and friends lately that are having virus problems.  The first thing I usually do when I start working on their computer is trash their current program they are using for virus protection.  Avast Home Edition is a superior product and has helped in every situation I have had to resolve so far.  One of the greatest parts is that is is free to home users and I look like the hero because they just got their computer fixed for free.

Avast Home Edition is an ICSA certified antivirus  along with being certified anti-spyware and anti-rootkit program.  The home edition has on demand scanning, on access scanner, and a boot time scanner.  I think that the boot time scanner is probably one of the biggest features since this allows the program to do a deep dive of the system before dangerous virus and spyware programs get loaded into memory.

If you have a home PC I highly recommend trying this program over any other antivirus programs that are out there.   Please let me know your experiences with the program.
